Primary unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia: neonate through early childhood - case report, radiographic diagnosis and review of the literature

Matthew E Abrams et al. J Perinatol. 2004 Oct.

Abstract

Unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare cause of respiratory distress in the neonate. It is usually secondary to other causes such as diaphragmatic hernia. We present a case of a newborn with primary hypoplasia of the right upper lobe who was later found to also have tracheobronchomalacia. We describe the clinical course through early childhood.
